The first installment of our 3 parter on the West Memphis Three. In this episode, we dive deep into the tragic murders of three young boys – Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore.

The scene of the crime seemed to bear the marks of a ritualistic killing, leaving residents terrified and searching for answers.

Enter 18-year-old Damien Echols. Law enforcement quickly became convinced that he was behind these murders, but it wasn't a thorough investigation or good old fashioned police work that brought them to that conclusion. So how did they get there?
